So, who's done it/needs it?
I've been having ridiculous vibrations whenever I take a sharp turn. At first I thought "I'm low, probably the tires rubbing my fender liner or something else." and passed it off. Well, today I got to thinking after checking out some threads on the tex', so I went out and started figuring out how much space I actually had between my frame and the drive axle. Lo and behold, my passenger side axle to frame space is less than 5mm (I couldn't fit my finger between the gap at all) and so I shined a flashlight into the area and saw the tell tale bare metal and marks on the axle.
So, along with lowering my car a bit more it seems like I'll be needing to notch my frame, or at least the passenger side.
So, who else has their frame notched on coils and, how exactly is it done? I don't see any DIY's on the subject but from reading it looks like I'll need a 3" hole saw to cut out a hole, grind that down, weld a little metal over that, and then rust proof the area with paint.
